My theme includes a widget for showing tweets. I want to take this widget and create my own version of it. I have successfully created a new widget listing in the admin but the widget functions from the other file is still being called when the front end is rendered. I confirmed this by putting an echo in the widget() function of the new widget.
See links below for the code for each file:
